Compared with last year the display space was smaller, but Kobayashi Gallery still gave her a spot that read like the centerpiece of their presentation.

Chisato Tanaka, "Rainbow Forest," 24.3 × 66.8 cm, 2017 * 320,000 yen (tax and frame incl.)

Kobayashi Gallery filled every inch of their booth with works by their represented artists, laying them out tightly for both display and sale.
Chisato Tanaka’s works were swapped for other pieces as they sold — a clear, sales-focused approach.

Chisato Tanaka’s works — 15 cm square, smaller than a “size 0” (18 cm) canvas — were priced at 80,000 yen (tax and frame incl.).
The price hadn’t gone up from last year.
